Isaiah 41:12

You will look for them but not find them,
those who were hostile toward you,
they will be completely destroyed—nothing,
those who waged war against you.
[A threefold escalation of enemies is given here in verses 11–12, from anger, verbal confrontation to outright war! There is also a chiastic pattern in verses 9–10 and 13-14 with the Hebr. words chazaq (taken/holding), "your right hand," "I will help you," and "do not fear" at the end.]
